It's official, emerald green is the Pantone color of the year! For all the cameo and green hues you saw on the Spring 2013 runways this past fall, you're about to see a whole lot more on the actual streets, in department stores and, yes, in your local boutiques. But unlike it's other green with envy relatives, emerald is a hue that is flattering to all skin tones. In the tone department, think of emerald as the navy of the greens - a dark, flattering hue that works well on every silhouette and skin color.

Thanks to Pantone, 2013 is sure to be a flattering year for us all. Hop on board the trend now and fill your closet with emerald pops of color from your shoes and bags to your dresses and pants. No emerald touch is out of place in the year of green.
